I spent my Saturday at the Iditarod Trail Committee (ITC) headquarters mixing a ‘secret’ formula. Foot ointment is handed out to all musher’s before the race to ensure no pup in need of a little healing touch goes without. As with most of the race, a group of volunteers sees that this project is completed. So early this morning I took off for Wasilla to heat, mix, bottle, & package about 200 small bottles of pretty pink foot ointment.

Not only did I get to fully tour the ITC headquarters, but I met my volunteer coordinators I’ll be working with for both the start & re-start of the race.

Bonus! My hands are now oh so silky smooth.
